Hi R.! I am glad to know you're still around! I hope everything is going fine in the truck topic

Long time no see!

Well, as everybody say, on the other hand, Obama inherited of a collapsing economy, and all his propositions were rejected by the Senate. He had to
issue presidential orders instead. Sure, he's done a couple of bad things, but also a couple of good things.

That's today's US politics: We try to find the POTUS who did a "couple of good things". If only Washington or Lincoln could still be around...

Hey bro! All is good. How r u?? My vote is 98% based on the economy this year, and Obama promised 4 years ago to cut the deficit in half by the end
of his first term and he doubled it. Not acceptable. We need to have massive spending cuts. If my wife was overdrawing the checkbook by thousands
of dollars a month I would take her name off the account. First rule of holes is to stop digging.

I agree with you on the first three debates, only Romney in the 1st was a consensus winner of any of those debates, polls seem to back that up as
well. No other debate had much effect on them.

I can see the third debate being a defensive one for Obama. He can get hammered on his Middle East/ Iran policies in a way that will not come across
well. Obama should play it very close to the vest while Romney has the luxury of attacking Obama's policies as well as showing the differences
between the two.

Of the two Romney at least has a chance to "win" the debate. President Obama can at best hope for a draw. I don't see how he pulls off of win given
the close to the vest way he will do the debate.

Barring any fireworks between the two or any major gaffes, it will most likely be a draw.

He made a critical mistake in the last debate with his Libya answers, and I'll bet my life's savings Romney will make him pay for it tonight.

Ya, that whole debacle where the Mod corrected him too, and she was also wrong...lol I didn't know that it was going to be two on one game...geez
I'm sure Romney is pulling at the bit to get back to that one.

I agree with the OP. Unless Romney is seriously off his game I think he is likely to hit hard. If he wants to win he has to get himself over the top
in the swing states and a fierce debate performance just might do it. Don't think he doesn't know that. The question is will Obama let
him?

And I must say, Romney is insane if he wants the job. 2013 is going to be one of roughest years on record. Food prices are going to go up drastically
and this will inflame the situation in desperately poor countries. It's likely we are going to see another round of revolutions across the world. The
economy is just going to get worse and it's only a matter of time until the bread riots hit the U.S.

Let's see... Romney has zero foreign policy experience or track record so all he has to do is attack Obama on the state of the world. Kinda like
monday morning quarterback on steroids. Everything to gain with no rel skin in the game.

And as far as the economy is concerned, Romney is goingto fix everything as soon as he gets elected. 15MM jobs crated just liek that. Lower taxes,
decreased debt, skittles and unicorns for everyone.

Ya well I predict Obama will Win.
Too bad none of this debate crap even matters, because IMO the election or should I say selection has already been decided, by the TPTB. Personally
neither is worthy of a presidential future, its time to kick all the career politicians out, and start completley over, with people who actually do
care about the US and its citizens, instead of corporations needs and wants. Oh what a MESS this country is in.

That is correct, ATS will eat it up too. The whole country will eat it up. The race is tied right now, I think we've got another Neo-Con coming and
war with Iran is all but certain.

LMAO, on your last paragraph, I couldnt agree more. On a serious note no matter who wins, nothing will change unless we the people change and start to
vote not based on religion and whats good for you. But whats good for the ENTIRE NATION. We need some Real, credible people to vote in, smart, tough,
not afraid to tell it how it is, that the nation as we know it is screwed unless we change the way we conduct our nation around the world, with
everything from foreign policy, to bring OUR jobs back from China, India, ect........
